Former CIA officer Alexander Yuk Ching Ma was arrested in August 2020 on espionage charges, and is now facing a life sentence for allegedly conspiring with a relative to leak classified defense information to China.
Ex-CIA officer Alexander Yuk Ching Ma has asked for a mental competency evaluation after telling his attorney that he believes he is suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, the Associated Press reported, citing court documents.
Birney Bervar, his court-appointed lawyer, said that he felt compelled to file a motion with a request for a mental competency evaluation after meeting his client.
